Varanasi
What is Ganga Puja?
Worship of Maa Ganga on the ghats of Varanasi, with sankalp, offerings, deep daan and aarti, traditionally performed on Ganga Dussehra and family occasions.
A Pandit can guide your family through a private Ganga Puja at a ghat, with sankalp, offerings of flowers, milk and diyas, and a small aarti of your own, separate from the large public aarti.
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
Why Families Choose Varanasi for Ganga Puja
For many Hindus, a visit to Kashi feels incomplete without honouring the Ganga. A personal puja at the water's edge lets the family take part directly, rather than only watching from the steps.
Families often mark milestones here: a wedding anniversary, a child's first visit to Kashi, Ganga Dussehra, or a vow fulfilled. Many combine the puja with a morning boat ride along the ghats.

Local Traditions & Timing
- Early morning is calm and preferred; evenings near Dashashwamedh Ghat are crowded because of the public Ganga aarti.
- During the monsoon the river rises and some lower ghat steps are closed; the Pandit will choose a safe spot.
- Ganga Dussehra and Kartik Purnima bring very large crowds; book early and allow extra time.
- PujaKarma arranges a Pandit for your own puja; it is not connected to the organisers of the public aarti.
Where It's Performed & Planning Tips
Where it's performed
- A quieter ghat such as Assi or one chosen by the Pandit
- A boat on the Ganga, for a small family puja
- Your hotel terrace overlooking the river, where allowed
- Online sankalp with a Pandit at the ghat, for family abroad
Planning tips
- Tell us whether you prefer a sunrise or sunset puja.
- Wear comfortable clothes and footwear you can remove easily on the ghat steps.
- Use leaf or flower diyas and avoid plastic in the river.
- Share family names and gotra for the sankalp.

Ganga Puja in Varanasi: FAQs
If yours is not here, ask it. A real person answers every message on WhatsApp.
Is this the same as the evening Ganga aarti?
No. The public aarti is performed by temple and ghat organisers. A Ganga Puja through PujaKarma is your family's own ritual with a Pandit, usually at a quieter time and place.
Can we do the puja from a boat?
Yes, a small family puja can be done on a boat. We will confirm the boat and a safe time with you, particularly in the monsoon.
